I thought I found a set of crash bars on eBay. The price was good & company is supposed to be out of Japan. They were advertised as for 2020 >>2022. I sent out an email and got a fast reply. He said they would fit my bike. I sent off another email about instructions or at least some pictures.
I looked all over the front of my bike, and could not find any mounting points.
Has anyone installed a set of crash bars like this , and could you share some pictures so we could have some ideas of how you did it
Thanks

Crash bars on the rocket is a futile exercise, at least for me. The engine is a stressed member and part of the “chassis” The only places to mount a system is on the engine/frame mountings. in the even of a crash/falling over you’ll transfer the stresses onto the block and frame - it’s a viscous cycle.

I have seen pics but cant recall where - they looked clumsy and ill-equipped to deal with any form of mishap. They also looks out of place and not in line with the rocket beautiful design. best wishes

That was sort of my thought too. The only place they might be helpful is if the bike just fell over. With the sidestand design, that is a higher probability than most bikes TBH. I also wouldn't mind a place to mount some highway pegs as well.
